📦 Installation #

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  zeba_academy_cache_manager: ^1.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

🚀 Usage #

Import the package:

import 'package:zeba_academy_cache_manager/zeba_academy_cache_manager.dart';

🧠 API Caching #

Cache API responses automatically.

final data = await ApiCache.get(
  "https://api.example.com/data",
);

print(data);

If the response is cached, it will be returned instantly without hitting the API again.

⏳ Custom Cache Expiry #

final data = await ApiCache.get(
  "https://api.example.com/data",
  expiry: Duration(minutes: 5),
);

💾 Manual Cache Usage #

Store custom data in cache.

await ZebaCacheManager.instance.set(
  "user_profile",
  '{"name":"John"}',
);

Retrieve cached data:

final data =
    await ZebaCacheManager.instance.get("user_profile");

🖼 Image Caching #

Load images with disk caching.

final image = await ImageCacheManager.load(
  "https://example.com/image.png",
);

Usage in widget:

Image(image: image)

⚡ Smart Preloading #

Preload important data before the user needs it.

await ZebaCacheManager.instance.preload([
  "https://api.example.com/home",
  "https://api.example.com/profile",
]);

🔄 Background Refresh #

Update cache in background without blocking UI.

await ZebaCacheManager.instance.refresh(
  "user_data",
  () async {
    return await fetchUserDataFromApi();
  },
);
